Community Planning

Community Planning is about developing a shared vision for the well-being of our district.

It is a process whereby councils, statutory bodies, and the community work together to develop and implement a shared vision for promoting the wellbeing of their area and pave the way for the most efficient use of scarce resources. Community Planning is everyone working together to make life better and deliver real improvements for local people.  It means planning ahead to improve the big issues that matter to people like health, education, employment, safety and the environment.
